The idea is to be blunt/direct and honest with yourself. Be primal. It's about what you want, not what you want other people to think about what you want. Or even what you think about what you want.7Wannabe5 wrote: @IlliniDave: What you are suggesting sounds even slightly more difficult for me than attempting the BRUTE method of weight loss. Therefore, I probably ought to at least attempt it in the interest of personal growth. It seems like this would mostly be a process of trying to be more J than P (decisive), but maybe more S than N too (no looping chains of thought allowed), and a little bit more F than T, since your instructions were that the one syllable words were supposed to describe how I feel, not how I think.
However, I would like to note for the record that I have not concsiously engaged in the counter-productive activity of "man-hunting" since late adolescence, so I will re-phrase your instruction as "do not actively or overtly signal availability to men interested in possibility of pursuit/conquest/etc.etc." IOW, "purposefully don some variety of off-putting behavioral burka."
Of course I laughed when I saw that you tried to map my suggestion into B-M space. Exactly the kind of thing I'm suggesting you avoid in the exercise.
There are many ways to hunt. Not all of them involve stalking and chasing. Providing some sort of signal (calls, decoys, bait, etc.) to attract quarry is hunting just as much as a cheetah running down a gazelle. I wasn't thinking along the lines of acting like a nun. Just treat men like regular people rather than potential conquests (even though you let them think they are doing the conquering ). But that's not the end goal in-and-of-itself. Just a tactic to give you some space to clear your head in the event you want try a new approach.
But if you're happy where you're at/going, that's good, just keep going and don't worry about it!
